M.C. Anoop, the first accused in the murder case of Revolutionary Marxist Party leader T.P. Chandrasekharan in Kerala, has been granted parole for 20 days under strict conditions. Anoop, from Chendayad at Panoor in Kannur, is serving his sentence at Kannur Central Jail. He was convicted in February 2024 and had driven the car used by the killers who attacked Chandrasekharan. Prison officials said this parole is a "routine, natural" process, allowed after he completed three months in jail as per the rules. Recently, other convicts in the case – Mohammed Shafi from Chokli, Shinoj of Pallur, and T.K. Rajeesh – returned to jail after their parole periods ended. This update shines a light on the ongoing legal proceedings around this high-profile murder case.
